corresponding input fields to appear on the form on the detail page. The returned HTML
includes a hidden field for the internal record ID.
Return type: String

Syntax
[table-ref.]getFormFields ( [array] )
table-ref
array
A table reference on the UIHelper instance. If the JSDO associated with the
UIHelper instance references only a single temp-table, the method can be called
on the UIHelper instance itself.
An array of strings specifying a subset of fields to be returned from the table
schema. If this parameter is omitted, all fields are returned. For example:
uiHelper.eCustomer.getFormFields([ '_id', 'CustNum' , 'Name' ]);
OpenEdge Mobile provides a default form field template for a jQuery Mobile
environment. The following code fragment shows the default template values:
{__label__}
As shown above, the default template uses the following substitution parameters:
• {__name__} — The field name as defined in the schema
• {__label__} — The field’s title property as defined in the schema
You can define a template to be used in place of the default by calling
setFieldTemplate( ).
